In traditional astrology, the Twelfth House represents your
self-undoing, hidden matters and the subconscious process. It
is believed that we carry karmic memories in our subconscious,
and that these subconscious memories can undermine our current
life efforts.

When we remove the walls created by subconscious fears and guilt,
we find that the path to personal transformation lies beyond.

If, in your chapter you find a number of descriptions of planets
placed in your twelfth house, consider exploring your hidden
self through past life regression.

12th house cusp in Capricorn

You are more conservative than meets the eye. You fear both
having and not having financial security. You are most trustworthy
with secrets and can work behind the scenes on a project.

Look for a significant prior lifetime where practicality and
duty were of prime importance. Consider your current attitudes
to restrictions and obligations. Possible prior areas of endeavor
include being an industrialist, manufacturer, shop owner, city
or town administrator, or in the army or militia.

Capricorn 12th House, Aquarius Rising

You have a great sense of contributing to the betterment of
humankind. You are seen as being creative and an innovator. Over-reaction
to the restrictions in your prior life could make you appear
too avant-garde or rebellious to the outside world this time.

Jupiter in 12th House

In a prior life, you saw many injustices done to others which
you felt powerless to combat, such as seeing the carpetbaggers
exploit the southern U.S. after the Civil War. This time, in
order to avoid personal discomfort you prefer to keep your idealism
hidden, possibly hidden from yourself.

KARMIC LESSON: Look
inward to rediscover your forgotten ideals and learn to love
yourself as much as you love humankind.

Saturn in 12th House

You chose a solitary prior life, as a hermit or in a cloistered
environment, so you would not have to face the harsh realities
of the outside world. In this life, you hide your feelings of
inadequacy by avoiding solitude, putting on a smile to the public.
Although you are outgoing and sociable, you may have difficulties
dealing with authority figures.

KARMIC LESSON: Once
you overcome the fear of being alone, you may find that you
actually enjoy your own company, especially
when working on a specific goal or project.

Chapter
2: Saturn
(The Great Teacher)

The source of many of our self-imposed restrictions can be found
in the placement of the planet Saturn. The location of Saturn
in a horoscope represents the area of life where we have to learn
the greatest lessons. It is through these lessons that we grow
and improve.

Just like your least liked teacher in school, Saturn's lessons
require hard work and self-discipline. And like the lessons from
that teacher, Saturn's lessons are not easily forgotten. The
lessons you learn help you to find order and security in your
current life.

When a lesson from a prior life was not learned, you can experience
inexplicable guilt or self-restriction. Exploration of the unlearned
lessons of Saturn can free you to use all of your natural talents.

Saturn in 12th House

You have a serious interest in the psychology of people and
can dedicate yourself to menial work or creative endeavors. You
have a strong yearning for spiritual fulfillment and may find
great solace in the service of humankind.

You may have spent a prior life in prison, a convent (monastery)
or as a recluse. You may have been the victim of treachery of
others, which forced you into hiding. If you were in a position
of power, then karmic guilt can render you immobile when you
have the opportunity to make advancement to a position resembling
your previous one.

On the positive side, you are able to use your inner strength
to learn your karmic lessons and develop your spiritual nature.
You seek the company of others out of love of humanity, instead
of the fear of loneliness.

On the negative side, you may fear success, recognition and
public displays of emotion. Your body may express your prior
life's fears in the form of allergies, immune system dysfunction
or as phobias. The karmic issues must be resolved in order for
you to experience health and success.

THIS PLACEMENT INDICATES A STRONG NEED FOR PAST LIFE REGRESSION.

Saturn Conjunct Jupiter:

Your optimism is tempered with caution. In prior lifetimes,
you have taken many responsibilities and duties without concern
for personal reward. This lifetime offers you the opportunity
to make the best career decisions and the determination to stay
with that decision until success is achieved. Balance your hopefulness
with practical reason and success will be yours.

Saturn Square Moon:

Emotional reserve was necessary for your survival in a prior
lifetime. This time around you are still feeling that restraint.
Sometimes, you find it difficult to express your emotions to
others, causing you to feel very isolated and lonely. Learn to
have faith in your own abilities and trust your intuition. Development
of your personal philosophy will help to provide a sense of emotional
security.

Saturn Square Venus:

A sense of duty was the reason for maintaining partnerships
in prior lifetimes. This time, you find it difficult to accept
the gift of love and consequently may feel very lonely. When
you learn to appreciate your loved ones for whom they are, you
will diminish feeling of isolation. Much of your stress in this
life comes from relationships, either family or work, and you
tend to direct that stress inward.

Chapter
3: Jupiter
(Your Karmic Gifts)

Personal karma is not necessarily negative. You bring to this
life certain talents and interest which enable you to expand
your horizons. Often overlooked for its karmic value, the placement
of the planet Jupiter in your chart can tell you about your karmic
gifts.

Jupiter describes spiritual rewards as well as the area of your
current life where you may experience material gains.

The lesson of Jupiter is best described as the acceptance of
the law of karma. The rewards you reap in this life time come
from your prior life's good deeds, and your future benefits (this
life or another) are the rewards of your present fair dealings
and generosity.

Jupiter in Aquarius

You have an unusual set of moral values, unique to yourself
but true for you, nevertheless.

You are tolerant to new ideas and may find comfort in Eastern
philosophy or religion, astrology, or reincarnation. Your prior
life as a social reformer or possibly a member of a religious
order is reflected in your interest in humanitarian organizations.

Jupiter in 12th House

You prefer to remain anonymous in your charitable donations.
In a prior life you learned the lessons of tolerance and compassion,
and in this life find great pleasure in winning enemies over
to your side. Volunteer work for hospitals or other institutions
provides great spiritual satisfaction.

Jupiter Square Moon:

In a prior life you found emotional and physical security based
on your unquestioning faith in a rigid religious doctrine and
strong devotion to a parent. This time around, you may feel the
need to develop your own unique philosophy or again you may be
attracted to an authoritarian religion, a cult or a guru. Parents
or the parental home may be a source of stress.

Jupiter Square Venus:

Idealistic romantic notions kept you from establishing partnerships
in your prior lifetimes. The possibility of that perfect love
was always in your dreams. The residue of your prior life's habits,
if left unchecked, may keep you from establishing a meaningful
relationship or from working to maintain what you already have.

Jupiter Square Neptune:

You had a great capacity for spiritual understanding in prior
lifetimes, which you either denied or exploited. This karmic
memory has left you confused about the real nature of empathy
and compassion. This time, you are again blessed with psychic
ability, empathy and the power of imagination. Learn to accept
your abilities as gifts and take responsibility for the proper
or improper use of your talents.

Chapter 4: Nodes of the Moon (Your Karmic Doorways)

The point on a horoscope chart called the North Node of the
Moon is not actually a planet, but can be thought of as a doorway
from your current life to your future. And, its opposite point
(the South Node of the Moon) can be thought of as a doorway from
your past life to your current one.

These two sensitive points can show you what goals you are concerned
with in this life and what habits from prior lives are holding
you back from reaching those goals.

North Node of the Moon in Virgo

Much confusion clouded your reasoning in prior lives. You relied
upon others for direction and your superstitions held you prisoner.

Your judgment is still colored by emotion and you are easily
swayed by another's tales of woe. You have a great intuitive
ability, but your sensitivity to others' emotional states can
trigger bouts of depression.

Since your emotions can adversely affect your health, you should
take extra care with your diet and exercise regimen. Avoid alcohol
and non-prescription drugs.

You have probably spent past lives as a poet, psychic, mystic
or religious martyr.

In order to maintain the balance between your two karmic doorways,
you need to learn to focus on and define your goals, while retaining
a sense of compassion for others.

Chapter 5: Planets in Retrograde (Reversed Energies)

Planets in a horoscope chart which are marked as being in retrograde
motion, hide or reverse the true energy of that planet.

From a perspective of past life experiences, this usually means
that some experience in a prior lifetime was so negative that
the individual refuses to use that planetary energy in any manner.

Jupiter Retrograde

You are concerned with growth and expansion, but find it difficult
to achieve. Success or luck may elude you.

In a prior life, you may have refused to change with the times,
holding on to outmoded ideas and ideals. In each life, you learn
lessons and grow. Since you chose not to make changes in one
life, it is necessary for you to go through the lessons of that
life again.

Your lesson in this lifetime is to determine which opportunities
offered to you will create the greatest amount of personal (inner)
growth and expansion. When you make your changes, success will
occur on the outside as well.

Saturn Retrograde

You have a great deal of inner reserve. You are very serious
about completing everything you start, sometimes when better
judgment would recommend abandoning a project. You have always
appeared mature beyond your years.

In a prior life, you avoided or were unable to fulfill your
responsibilities, thus leaving many things undone or partially
complete.

Your lesson in this lifetime is complete your projects and live
up to your responsibilities. You have a great deal of wisdom
from prior life experiences which will help you to teach others
the value of completion.

Neptune Retrograde

Sometimes you find it difficult to determine what is real and
what is not. You have a vivid imagination and you find comfort
in your daydreaming and fantasy. Although it may not be recognized
as such, you have a psychic gift.

In a prior life, you may have used illusion and delusion to
take undue advantage of others. You were attracted to things
psychic and may have even represented yourself as a medium or
even as a magician. In this lifetime, you are still drawn to
psychic and occult matters.

Your lesson in this lifetime, is to develop your real spiritual
side. You may decide to use your psychic gifts for personal gain.
If you do so, use them honestly, avoiding deception of others
at all costs.
